Rockets 116, Knicks 111 (OT): "This one hurts."

Guess we're going to bed grumpy tonight, pals! What an absolute root canal of a finish to a game that could have been a breeze. The first half broke mostly in the Knicks' favor. Arron Afflalo gamely took over first-option duties. James Harden fired up pure farts. The Knicks granted Houston too many extra possessions with turnovers and poor defensive glasswork, but held a big lead anyway because tertiary weirdos like Lance Thomas, Kevin Seraphin, and Derrick Williams just kept finding the net.

New York weathered a run in the third, then hit the home stretch in full stride, pulling ahead by 14 with 8 minutes to go thanks to pretty open threes by Jerian Grant(!
